Over the years, I’ve definitely developed a big interest in the product side of things with BMX. Something about all the small details, specs and time that go into a product really gets to me just as much as riding these days. I’ve definitely had the opportunity to find out more about how products are made while interviewing brands and product designers as well as the chance to find out about products that the rest of the world only get a glimpse of online during events like Interbike and Frostbike. I was also given the opportunity to handle the Productivity section of DIG from issue 73-87 until recently deciding to step away to focus more of my attention on The Union. I decided I wanted to keep doing what I was able to do in those pages the last few years but turn it into a weekly column here on a smaller scale where I feature 5 products from 5 different brands. Give you all the specs, where to find it, how much and pretty much every other important detail. So here it is…. the first round of Products:. Check it!
Seth Kimrbrough’s signature Bama line from Hoffman Bikes have been apart of their line up for a number of years now. In that time, they have refined the line to Seth’s wants and needs over the years and it’s clear that they appeal to all kinds of riders. The second version of these 13-butted 100% heat-treated 4130 chromoly bars have options to fit pretty much anyone. You can pick these bars up with a rise of 8.35″ and a 27.75″ width and 8.75″ or 9″ rise with a 30″ width. The Bama bars also feature 1.5-degrees of upsweep and 10-degrees of backsweep. You can find these in black, raw with red clear coat, raw with blue clear coat, ED purple and chrome polish with a weight of 26.5 oz. (8.35″ rise).

Deluxe recently received a shipment of their latest version of the F-Light topload stem. This stem is CNC machined from Billet-T6 aluminum and features a 54mm reach with 30mm of rise. You can find the stem in color options of black, red, blue, polished and their newest color that looks so good, Titanium grey. Deluxe have machined out extra material along the sides and near the top plate to help reduce the weight some without sacrificing strength giving it a unique and aesthetically pleasing look. The F-Light stem weighs in at 10.41 oz. (295g) and is available worldwide, but currently out of stock in the U.S.
There’s rumors floating around on the street that Deluxe should be easier to get ahold of here in the U.S soon with a new U.S distributor. Until then, you can pick up what’s currently available online through Dan’s Comp.

There’s no doubt that Profile Racing have done some epic limited edition colorways over the years. As part of the limited edition team colors they have been introducing over the last year or so, they gave the flying squirrel (been forever since anyone has said that one. Sorry, Mark!), Mark Mulville, a chance at his own colorway. As you can see, well, maybe you can’t see it… Mark chose to go with camouflage to help him blend in with the woods while cruising through the trails. You can currently pick up Mark’s signature Push topload stem, right hand drive Mini hubs and the Spline Drive sprockets in this limited edition color.
If you want to get your hands on any of these products, have your shop get ahold of Profile or QBP Distribution and get you some camo ordered up. If you would like to take a closer look at the goods, CLICK HERE.
